Chess by Howard L. Dolde

Problem No. 23.
Original for the Pittsburgh Post by A. Ellermann, Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic
Black 13 Pieces
White 9 Pieces
This problem is the one I composed in Montevideo at a dinner given upon the occasion of the distribution of prizes to winners of a chess tournament held there. I was asked to show methods of constructing a chess problem, and notwithstanding the merry surroundings I composed this problem in 15 minutes, and you can see the result is good with excellent originality. So wonderful was my chess mood on this occasion that I solved all the problems of the Good Companion Folder in a half hour.

Solution to No. 23 By Arnaldo Ellerman, Buenos Aires.
Key 1-Q-B8.
Criticism.
An easy sort of waiting move
-F. H. of Parnassus.
The claim of 1-Q-QKt7 for key is defeated by Kt-KB2. Claim of 1-Kt-QB5 ck is impossible as it discovers check from the black rook. To have composed this problem in the small space of time as indicated by the author is, in my opinion, very noteworthy. I am inclined to the belief, however, that the germ had been previously implanted in the chess cell of the author's brain, otherwise his chess mood was not only wonderful on this occasion, but rather abnormally brilliant.
-George A.A. Hollander.
This problem is rather easy to solve, although almost perfect in construction
- Harry J. Willinsky.
Too many plugs with the black pawns at KR6 and QB4.
- Odin A. Herr, 6137 Carpenter Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
A fairly good problem, but not filled to the brim with such wonderful XLNT originality as the composer's letter would indicate.
- Dr. J.H. Tarnedde, McKees Rocks, Pa.
Too many black pawns, but this is excusable considering the speed with which it was composed. The four mates are interesting and somewhat hard to find.
- Sidney Neu, Edgewood Park, Pa.

The actual truth about Bobby Fischer's political views…

Bobby Fischer Gives “Peace Sign” in 1958 and the Peace Movement Calling for Nuclear Disarmament

Bobby Fischer in 1958 and the Peace Movement Calling for Nuclear Disarmament

Bobby was leftist-leaning, like his mother, Regina Fischer who went on a “Peace March” to Moscow in 1961 to put pressure on the Khrushchevs and U.S.S.R. toward disarmament.

(Readers' Digest) The Dark, Untold Story About the Peace Sign
“It originated as a symbol used by the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War (DAC). An artist, Gerald Holtom, was on the groups' board, and as a well-known designer, stepped up to create a symbol that would have not only a visual but also a political impact. The symbol was first displayed during a protest march that took place on Easter weekend of 1958. Protesters marched 52 miles from London to Aldermaston in Berkshire, which is the site of the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment to protest the use of nuclear weapons in war. This march was organized by the DAC and it was the first wide spread public display of the peace sign.”

Bobby's views never strayed far from his roots. The collage above, mentions BERTRAND RUSSELL, who was responsible for putting the peace signs on the 1958 banners and buttons of the activists. BERTRAND RUSSELL held strong views opposing the Apartheid of Israel. Just as Bobby did. Bobby never abandoned his leftist-leaning roots which he learned from Regina Fischer. He loathed Fascism.
